Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Man Bites Dog, even if it contains scenes of great violence, is nonetheless a masterpiece of Black Comedy, as proven by these scenes. May contain some unmarked spoilers, though.

  • Most of the murders and home invasions are usually hard to take seriously, due to how hammy Ben is (which, along with some Special Effect Failure, lead to some strong Narm moments).
    • Although, it definitely gets a bit darker as the film goes by; especially when the crew gangrape and viciously kill a couple, showcasing their utter lack of any redeeming quality.
  • Ben, who casually mentions that he “starts the month with a postman” after he's done with one.
  • Ben politically incorrect stances after he killed a black night watchman.
  • At one point, Ben and the crew storm a house then murder the couple inside, but fail to get their kid, who fled in the nearby woods. In an attempt to retrieve the kid, Ben shouts:

Kid! Come on out! It’s just for fun, kid!

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? Catch him, you morons!

  • Ben unexpectedly shouting at the grandma, frightening yet hilarious.
  • Ben's reaction, or rather lack thereof, after he accidentally killed one of the crew members at his birthday.
